The cathedral of St. Cecile in Albi dominates the surrounding landscape creating a strange, dissonant counterpoint with the river Tarn which flows nearby.

The river is cool, green, timeless and inviting as it flows its inscrutable way from its source in the Cevennes towards its confluence with the Garonne, passing under the bridges of Albi on its way west. It is still possible to take river trips on the Tarn in Albi by gabarre, the ancient style of wooden river boat used for trading woad (or Cocanha in the Occitan tongue) which made Albi prosperous in the 15th and 16th centuries. On a hot summer's day, this is the essence of tranquillty.

The cathedral, on the other hand, built in Languedocienne pink brick (a French version of the ancient Roman brick) forces its way into the consciousness of the visitor, as it has done for the past six centuries.
